The Power of Integration: Why Tanks and Pumps Work Better Together
In water systems, tanks and pumps are two halves of the same solution. However, they’re often treated as separate, sourced from different suppliers, specified in isolation, and installed without full coordination.
At Tricel, we believe that tanks and pumps work best when designed together. That’s why Tricel Water and our sister company Tricel Pumps have built a close working partnership to deliver fully integrated water storage and pumping solutions across the UK.
Whether it’s a cold water tank feeding a booster set, a sprinkler tank supporting fire pumps, or a combined tank and pump station, our joined-up approach means fewer headaches and better results.
Why Tank and Pump Synergy Matters
When tanks and pumps are treated as standalone products, the outcome is rarely seamless. Mismatched connections, conflicting flow rates, incorrect sizing, and delivery gaps are just a few of the problems we encounter on-site, often resulting in time, money, and credibility being lost to fix.
That’s where Tricel’s tank and pump synergy makes the difference.
With one team managing both systems, we ensure:
Hydraulic compatibility between the tank outlet size, the pump flow rate, and the pressure requirements
Space planning that considers both tank and pump footprints, clearance, and access
Synchronised lead times, so nothing arrives too early or too late
Unified technical support — one conversation, one solution
From initial design to final delivery, we build our tank and pump systems to perform as one.
Behind the Synergy: Two Divisions, One Goal
Tricel Water and Tricel Pumps may operate from different sites, but we’re tightly connected behind the scenes.
Tricel Water specialises in GRP cold water storage tanks for commercial, industrial, and fire protection applications — from one-piece and sectional tanks to LPCB-approved sprinkler tanks.
Tricel Pumps, based in Portsmouth, provides full pumping solutions, including booster sets, pressurisation units, controls, and turnkey tank and pump stations.
Together, we collaborate on thousands of projects each year — from hospitals and schools to hotels and high-rise developments.
The Result? Smarter, Faster, Safer Projects
Our customers — whether they’re M&E contractors, consultants, or facilities managers — consistently tell us that choosing a combined tank and pump package from Tricel:
- Saves time on-site
- Improves project coordination
- Enhances long-term system reliability
By engaging with both Tricel Water and Tricel Pumps early in your project, you unlock:
Optimised system design from the outset
Consolidated deliveries that reduce on-site storage and delays
Better value engineering, balancing performance and cost
One point of contact for any design queries or troubleshooting
This isn’t just about simplifying procurement — it’s about applying smarter system thinking from the ground up.

Each sector brings its own unique demands — from strict hygiene and uptime requirements in healthcare and data centres, to fire safety compliance in high-rise buildings. That’s why our tank and pump systems are:
✔️ Custom-designed to your flow, pressure, and footprint requirements
✔️ Fully compliant with industry standards (including LPCB for sprinkler systems)
✔️ Delivered in sync, so you avoid costly delays and site congestion
✔️ Supported by a single, expert team from specification to commissioning
Applications We Support
Potable cold water storage systems

Talk to the team that delivers both
When your tank and pump system comes from two disconnected suppliers, you get two sets of drawings, two delivery schedules, and often, two sets of problems.
When it comes from Tricel, you get a single, fully integrated solution — faster, smarter, and with full accountability.
